NEXT WEEKEND’S LIMERICK and Tipperary senior hurling finals will both be televised live on TG4.
The Limerick decider on Saturday evening will pit Na Piarsaigh against Patrickswell with several of the county’s All-Ireland hurling winners in action. It is a repeat of the 2019 final, which marked Patrickswell’s last title success, while Na Piarsaigh are the reigning champions.
Then on Sunday in the live TV coverage it’s replay time in the Tipperary senior hurling championship in Semple Stadium for the third successive year. Thurles Sarsfields, the 2017 kingpins, take on Kiladangan, victors in 2020.
Elsewhere there are other major county hurling finals on with Ballyhale Shamrocks chasing six titles in a row in Kilkenny when they face O’Loughlin Gaels, champions last in 2016, while St Thomas are aiming for a similar feat in Galway as they take on Turloughmore, who have endured a title drought since 1985.
Na Fianna have lost the last two marquee hurling deciders in Dublin, they now face a Ballyboden St-Enda’s team that last won the title in 2018.
On the football front, last January’s beaten All-Ireland finalists Watty Grahams Glen are in Derry final action against Magherafelt, while defending champions Errigal Ciaran are in the Tyrone decider against Trillick.
Cork title holders Nemo Rangers are defending their football crown against Castlehaven, while in Mayo it’s last year’s beaten finalists Ballina against Breaffy, who were defeated in the 2018 and 2020 deciders.
